Re: Is there an easy way, in CL, to find out if there are other jobs with a known jobname active or scheduled?

A small SQLRPGLE program (maybe wrapped into a CMD) might be your best bet.

With the JOB_INFO table function you receive exactly what you need.

With a receiver variable you can return the job count.

Is there an easy way that the program can find out how many of the job it wants to submit are already either running or waiting to run?
